This day started gray
No sunshine promised
Dampness allowed the
Cold to penetrate bones
Errands were run in the city
Then a trip to the post-office
Strangely, I had been thinking
Of friends from long ago
One that I have respect for
Was not open to communication
I could understand completely
I received a note from
A more recent acquaintance
Saying correspondence with me
Was not going to be part of her life
A chapter closed, life goes on
I received a package from another
College friend containing a book
About the restless waves in
the life of a failed candidate for
The Presidency of the USA
Also included was an article
Downplaying President Trump's
Success even while being under
Attack from the left since before
He was sworn in
Eventually impeached with glee
In a bizarre hearing where he was
Denied witnesses and legal representation
Only to acquitted by the Senate with
The help of Alan Dershowitz, who
Is a self-described liberal Democrat
But believes in the Constitution
I believe our country needed an outsider
I do not have a gun, but I thump my Bible
And am happy to be a deplorable
I made my vow to God and have honored it
The swamp is slowly being drained
Many think it is left versus right
No, it is we, the outsiders, versus
The advocates of statism
This president is for we
There is hope on the horizon
It is still gray
Snow is lightly falling
